applying formatting to xml
Hi, I'm experimenting with xml and xsl and....


My testTable.xml looks like this:


<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<?xml:stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="aTable.xsl"?>
<grid>
</grid>
----------------------------------------------------

and my testTable.xsl looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">


<xsl:template match="/">
 <xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="grid">
 <TABLE>
 <TR>
   <TD>
   <xsl:attribute name="BGCOLOR">#003399</xsl:attribute>
   <xsl:attribute name="style">color: white;</xsl:attribute>
   My Title
   </TD>
 </TR>
 </TABLE>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
----------------------------------------------------------------

I bring up testTable.xml in IE5 and get:

#003399 color: white; My Title

... which is what I didn't expect.
----------------------------------------

However, if I change the <TD> in my testTable.xsl to this:

<TD BGCOLOR="#003399" style="color: white;">My Title</TD>

I get what I want, the words My Title in white and the td background blue. Can someone explain to me why the first thing I tried didn't work?

Thanks in advance,
-alex
